Parent Testimonials
Our parents have much to say about the School, its influence on their families, and its long-term legacy for their children. (We also thought it would be fun to hear from Geneva teachers!)
Our family has richly benefited from the individualized attention our two children have received, thanks to the small class sizes of Geneva School. We especially appreciate the School’s academic excellence and spiritual formation provided in a supportive, nurturing environment, as well as the opportunity for them to study classic literature, Singapore Math, French and Latin.

More than just a wonderful work environment with a rigorous currciulum to teach, Geneva School has provided a family of friends and a feeling of home. A. DeVore, Second Grade teacher since 2006
We are now the parents of two high school graduates, one in an excellent liberal arts college, Washington and Lee University, the more recent graduate now headed for the music program at Wheaton College, arguably the best Christian music conservatory in the country. We believe that Geneva School, this small, but rigorous, Christian classical school in Manhattan, gave them the sound foundation in academics which they took into high school. Additionally, both children benefitted from relationships with teachers who sought to help them develop a moral compass. And, there is an encouraging component to being Geneva School parents as well. We made many positive friendships there that we still maintain. With Christ as the center of your child’s educational experience, the entire family benefits. L. Parson, Parent of two Geneva School graduates (since 1996)
My 6-year old asked me today, "Mommy will I always go to Geneva School?" I said "God willing, unless we move." He replied, "I never want to move because I never want to go to a different school!" I can't think of a better endorsement. C. DeRose, Parent of two Geneva School students (since 2007)
Geneva School has been a great fit for our family. Our children have developed a true love of learning. Equally important, they also learn to develop their love for the Lord. We appreciate the partnership between parent and school, and we see the character of our children being wonderfully crafted during these formative years. Academically, we are pleased with the results of the classical curriculum implemented by nurturing teachers.The community is diverse, yet distinctly Christian. Geneva School and our Christian community are significant reasons we choose to raise our family in New York City. M. Long, Parents of two Geneva School students (since 2006)
As I said and will keep on repeating, whatever success the girls have had, I give most credit to the grounding they received at Geneva School. So thank you so much for all you have done for the family, from that first meeting with Mette in London to the amazing community we joined at Geneva, to exam and university success for [my daughters], to the touching tribute to Mette, my heartfelt thanks and the eternal gratitude of the Beard family. M. Beard, Parent of alumni and husband of Mette Beard, to whom we dedicated our science lab in 2011.
Each year I am thrilled with the spiritual and academic growth of our grandsons...I want to show my support for your ministry and help make it possible for others to benefit. Sent with a donation from a Geneva School grandparent.
Our daughter has been having a wonderful year at Geneva. She has grown in new ways through the opportunity to be Student Council President and part of the Geneva Knights. These two pursuits, in particular, have helped her become more engaged and grow in leadership skills...She is treasuring every last day she has at Geneva. She looks upon her past nine years at Geneva with immense fondness and gratitude. She deeply loves the school, the students, the teachers and the staff. I trust that one day she will be in a position as an alum to give back to the school. Thank you for all you have done to help make it possible for her to attend Geneva School from Kindergarten through Eighth grade. It has been a rich experience for us all. K. Whitehead, Parent since 2003
